For hundreds of years this land was named the land of light. They say that even the darkest of tunnels was lit up. Trees grew tall, rivers ran smoothly, and grass was greener than most. The only thing that lived on it was lone wolves. Five lone wolves to be exact, and all were brothers: Arctic, Mountain, River, Forest and Desert. They lived together in harmony for what seemed ages. One day the oldest brother (arctic) decided that the land was for himself and himself only. The youngest brother said that they should just spit the land but no one listened. Arguments sprawled out and it became a brother on brother fight. Each day was another lucky day for each of them to be alive. When the youngest brother (Desert) was killed a sorrow filled the hearts of the brothers and the skies blackened. Trees began to rot and grasses died beneath their paws. The five brothers were gods. Out of the youngest brother’s wishes they split up the land. The land given to Arctic became a snowy terrain when he walked upon it with his head sunken low. The ground beneath Mountain’s paws rose as he walked into a hill of snow and rock. Forest picked his land and trees sprung out like daises. Desert was laid down in the ground and where he laid became a waist land of sand. River (the middle brother) walked from the mountain to the desert before he picked his piece in the circle. Where his paws touched the ground is where the water flowed. Later he placed himself between the forest and desert.

That was the story that was passed down in the packs as the pups grew older. Two sisters, Amethyst and Vevilla born of the Arctic hunters and the mountain scavengers took great interest in the story. When they were of age to be out in the world by themselves they each challenged the alpha of their favorite land. Amethyst won the battle for the Snowy plains and vevilla for the rocky mountain. The wolves have changed since the days of the five. Now they are dark like the land, which has now been renamed… The land of the Shadows. So come… Escape to the shadows.
